Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

However, when Wormtail saw that Voldemort did not take action, his heart was relieved.

Then he heard a hissing sound coming from Voldemort's mouth, which made his heart, which had just settled down, hang in the air again.

After hearing Voldemort's Parseltongue, Nagini swam towards a corner deeper in the cave.

Voldemort said jokingly in a cold voice:

"My old friend, don't be so nervous. I told you everything is for your own good. And I still need your care for my body. Voldemort's wrath will not fall easily..."

Soon Nagini took a wand in her mouth and threw it at Wormtail's feet.

Voldemort explained:

"This is a wand left by an arrogant wizard. Now it belongs to you. Hurry and cook. I feel very hungry."

While Wormtail was picking up the wand, Voldemort kept the wand pointed at Wormtail. If Wormtail did anything wrong...

However, during the entire cooking process, Wormtail did not make any strange movements. After the meal was ready.

Voldemort said softly:

"My friend, you've worked hard all night. Eat first. Only when you're full can you take better care of me."

Wormtail didn't refuse, but quickly poured himself a bowl of rice and began to eat hastily.

Just when he had eaten half of it, Voldemort's shrill voice shouted:

"Okay, give me the rest of your bowl. I like to share a bowl of rice with my friends."

Chapter 294 How to Prevent Outsiders from Sneaking into Hogwarts

Just after Voldemort had his meal, it was already dawn outside.

"Wormtail, I hope you can accompany me back to England. What do you think?"

Wormtail was silent for a moment, then said cautiously:

"Master, I am wanted by the Ministry of Magic. If I go back with you, it will bring you trouble."

Voldemort's voice was cold:

"So you intend to abandon me, my friend? Are you afraid that Voldemort will become a burden to you now?"

Wormtail looked at Voldemort's slightly raised wand, and his voice suddenly rose, becoming a little sharp and piercing:

"No, Master, no, I am willing to go back with you..."

Voldemort slowly lowered his wand:

"Don't worry, we are not going directly to England. We need to find out what the situation is over there along the way.

And I believe that under your care, my strength will soon recover. There is no place where you can be safer than with me. Do you understand me, my old friend?

Wormtail said respectfully:

"Master, I understand."

Voldemort nodded.

"As long as you take good care of me, I will forgive you for what happened before. I need a new plan, but I also need some intelligence. You can make good use of your animal friends.

Okay, pack up and let's go to the outside world now. If we stay here, the information won't come to us."

Wormtail was silent for a moment before saying:

"Master, you can wait here. I'll go out and gather intelligence..."

"No, just keep me with you. You know I need you to feed me every few hours, and you'll be safer with me around, right?"

Finally, Wormtail walked out of the cave holding the infant Voldemort. Nagini, under Voldemort's command, wandered not far from them, so that she could attack them from behind if there was any danger.

After a night of hard work, the four deans finally surveyed the entire depth of the cave and made some preliminary arrangements for magic.

All that’s left is for them to go back and study carefully what kind of levels to set for the students.

The few of them stood in front of the rock wall they had arrived at, and Douglas put the ring on his wrist into the groove on the rock wall.

A blue light swept across Douglas, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The others followed his example and placed the rings into the grooves.

Then everyone appeared in a stone chamber together, and the moment they appeared, everyone found that they could no longer feel their magic power.

Snape's face changed drastically. He pulled out his wand and casually cast a wand lighting spell, but it wouldn't light up.

Dumbledore explained:

"There are magic-forbidden stones placed here, and I think there are quite a few of them. Even my magic power has become silent. Douglas, is this what you call a backup plan to prevent someone from sneaking in?"

Douglas looked at the crowd, smiled slightly, and snapped his fingers. The stone chamber ceiling seemed to be equipped with numerous showerheads, and a stream of icy water fell like a heavy rain.

"This is the interior of the Demon Suppression Tower. If we don't have powerful magic suppression techniques, I estimate that as long as some powerful wizards are locked up here, they will find a way to destroy this place.

The anti-theft shower, it will wash away all spells, all magical disguises! Normally, as soon as someone steps in here for thirty seconds, the shower will start. I just controlled the shower.

Then he snapped his fingers again, the shower stopped, and continued to explain:

"Under normal circumstances, the shower will automatically shut off after two minutes. If a wizard uses other equipment to hold off for a while, this won't be very effective. After all, the water volume isn't as large as a waterfall or a lake."

Snape shook the water droplets from his head and said gloomily:

"Are you reluctant to use the potion? Otherwise, what's the point of this device?"

Douglas shrugged.

"Because it also serves as an early warning. If someone deliberately resists the shower and their skin isn't wetted by a single drop of water, it will be detected and a warning sound will be heard outside. Unless I come personally, no one can release them.

Besides, I don't think it's going to be easy for anyone to sneak in from here, as they're mainly targeting Hogwarts students, so there's no need to make such a big scene."

Snape snorted disdainfully:

"It's all fancy talk, but the other party ignored it and walked straight to the front door and pushed it open to walk out, not caring about your magic ban to prevent thieves."

"The gate is very strong."

Professor Flitwick wiped the water off his face and said: xь.

"What if the other party is a strong wizard? Just like Hagrid, he can just break down the door."

"In fact, that gate doesn't exist. It's just a space entrance. Originally, that gate could open any of the six levels of the Demon Suppression Tower, but now a secret realm has been added.

The tower wall is very strong and difficult to destroy unless powerful magic is used."

Dumbledore said quietly at this time:

"Douglas, this water has no taste. It doesn't align with your research on potions. I think the students are very tired after coming out of the secret realm. You can add some honey to replenish their energy..."

Professor McGonagall glared at Dumbledore and said unhappily:

"Let's go out and talk. We can't use magic here. We're soaking wet. And we've been up all night..."

Douglas coughed awkwardly and said:

"Professor, there's one last step before the door can be opened. Do you still need to see it?"

Professor Sprout said helplessly:

"How many levels have you set up? Start your performance now."

Douglas walked to the gate and pointed to a wooden sign on the right and said:

"This is the door-opening spell!"

"The Hogwarts Young Wizarding Manifesto, what is this? It has quite a bit of content."

Professor Flitwick looked up at the lines of words. It was obvious that they had nothing to do with any spell he knew.

Douglas took out the prepared Hogwarts badge from his pocket and said:

"Of course, it's not just about reciting this declaration. You also have to equip the Hogwarts badge, perform the corresponding gesture, and then recite this sentence before the gate will open."

Professor Flitwick asked curiously:

"What if the person you imprisoned in this tower also used this to escape?"

"First of all, this school badge is special. Only those who are qualified to enter the secret realm are eligible to wear this special badge. Each person is given one, and they need to authenticate the badge with their own magical aura. After graduation, they must return the badge.

And I don’t have to lock the enemy in this floor. If I activate the Demon Suppression Tower, the passage to the secret realm will be closed…”

Dumbledore took the badge and examined it carefully, then adjusted his glasses and said with emotion:

"No Hogwarts student seems to be used to using the Hogwarts crest. They are more likely to wear the emblem of their own house. This is a good idea. Hogwarts students should be seen as a whole to the outside world."

Chapter 295: Hogwarts Young Wizard's Declaration

Douglas suppressed his smile and led the Hogwarts headmaster and the deans of the four major colleges to stand in front of the wooden sign.

"Keep your legs together and straight, heels together, chest and stomach in, eyes looking straight ahead, and hold the wand in your left hand, close to your left leg, with the tip of the wand pointing to the ground.

Make a fist with your right hand, with your right upper arm level with your shoulders, your lower arm at a 45-degree angle to your upper arm, your fist facing forward, the knuckle facing your temple, and about 4 inches away from your temple..."

"I don't feel any magic in this ritual?"

"Are you sure this is any use?"

After Douglas adjusted it several times, he finally accepted everyone's non-standard movements before Snape got angry.

"Next, I will read a sentence, and everyone will follow and read it in unison. You will see the effect."

"I swear!"

"I swear!"

"To be an outstanding young wizard at Hogwarts, you must possess powerful magical abilities, be brave and fearless, unwaveringly pursue your dreams, and always be ready to fight for justice."

"Um, young wizard... well, I'm a young wizard over a hundred years old... as..."

"We are intelligent, adaptable, and good at thinking. We are constantly learning and improving, and we are the best wizards in the wizarding world."

"..."

"At Hogwarts, we not only learn the basics of magic, but also master a wide range of magical knowledge, constantly challenging ourselves and striving to surpass ourselves."

"..."

"When faced with various challenges, we must remain calm, respond with composure, and use our ingenuity to solve problems as quickly as possible."

"..."

"At Hogwarts, we must not only pursue personal growth, but also contribute our strength to the entire wizarding community. We strive to become the guardians of the wizarding world and fight for the peace and happiness of wizards."

As the last syllable ended, a Hogwarts emblem appeared at the gate's location, and then the "h" in the middle of the emblem slowly enlarged, finally turning into a double door.

Douglas glanced at Snape who was about to take off the school badge and said:

"Just a reminder, this is the final level. Only those wearing the Hogwarts badge can touch this door."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out, ignoring Snape's gloomy face behind him.

Snape said coldly:

"That kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Who can guarantee he won't extract this memory? He'll use the excuse of letting students learn and let them watch."

After Snape finished speaking, he looked at the indifferent expressions of the others, snorted coldly, and walked out directly.

Well, he was the only one who cared about this image, and he felt a little ashamed of his previous actions.

After everyone stepped out of the door, it was already bright outside.

They instantly felt their magic returning to their bodies and used their wands to dry themselves off.

They had been like Muggles for a while now, a feeling they hadn't experienced in the decades since they awakened their magic. This contrast gave the deans a lot of insights.

"Good morning, how come you came out of the Demon Suppression Tower so early?"

Lupin, who had just finished morning training, walked towards the auditorium with some students. From a distance, he saw six people walking out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Seeing Lupin, Snape's face turned pale and he said to Dumbledore coldly:

"Headmaster, I won't be attending the holiday party later. Please tell the Slytherin students about their affairs..."

After saying that, he strode directly towards the basement where his office was, without even looking at Lupin the whole time.

After walking a few steps, Snape remembered the Hogwarts badge on his chest. He tore off the badge, thought about it, and finally decided not to throw it away. He put it in his pocket.
